As organizations increasingly depend on distributed system architectures to provide modern applications and microservices, their legacy monitoring tools struggle to keep pace. These outdated systems are often based on predictable failures, but when an unforeseen performance issue occurs, it can lead to outages and unplanned downtime that impacts your customers and your business.

Machine learning is a powerful tool that enables computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. Two fundamental approaches to machine learning are supervised and unsupervised learning. In this blog post, we'll explore the key differences between these two approaches, along with examples of their applications.

I wrote a previous blog post, "AI Explainer: What's Our Vector, Victor?," to scratch the surface on vector databases, which play a crucial role in supporting applications in machine learning, information retrieval and similarity search across diverse domains. From that blog arose the topic of embeddings, which I addressed in a subsequent post, "AI Explainer: Demystifying Embeddings." In explaining embeddings, the notion of continuous space was presented, which is the topic of this blog.

Applications serve as the backbone of countless operations, driving productivity, customer experience and business success. Tracking and managing their performance is therefore critical to maintain continuity and efficiency, enabling IT teams to proactively identify and resolve issues before they lead to downtime and potential revenue loss. That’s where application performance monitoring (APM) comes in.

In today's rapidly evolving landscape of distributed systems and microservices, understanding how applications behave in production environments has become increasingly complex. Traditional monitoring tools often fall short when it comes to providing comprehensive insights into the performance and behavior of these modern architectures.

Network monitoring is an essential pillar of maintaining a healthy IT infrastructure. Without an effective network monitoring system in place, your organization could be losing out on better performance, greater efficiency and increased cost savings. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about network monitoring to understand what it is and why it’s critical for your operations.

In today's tech landscape, businesses are undergoing a significant shift in how they manage their IT infrastructure. Cloud computing has been a huge force in this transformation, leading to a blend of on-prem and cloud-based services known as hybrid IT. With a hybrid IT infrastructure, you can take advantage of both the control and security of on-prem solutions, as well as the scalability and flexibility of cloud architecture. But is hybrid IT right for your business?

In a previous blog post, entitled "What's Our Vector, Victor?," I went through the basics of vector databases. That post explained how vector databases are used by large language models, and one of the concepts included was this brief explanation of embeddings: So, let's dig in a little more on this. Embeddings, in the context of vector databases, refer to vector representations of data points or entities within the database.

The reference in the title is from the 1980 film “Airplane.” If you recognized it, I’m sorry to inform you that you’re getting old (like me). Let’s talk about vector databases. A vector database is a type of database that stores and organizes data in the form of vectors, which are mathematical representations of objects or entities in a multidimensional space.

According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per MINUTE. That's $93.33 per SECOND. Why is downtime such a big deal? Consolidating your monitoring tools give you full visibility of overall IT service health in a single view, reducing mean time to resolve (MTTR) issues. Lower MTTR = cost savings!

The Parkview Health team understands that the key to providing value to the business is through intelligent automation. Intelligent monitoring and AIOps capabilities can be combined to derive the much-needed context, an ingredient that has proven to be paramount in enabling intelligent automation to immediately address a broad range of IT issues. Innovative organizations, like Parkview Health, are focusing their monitoring and analytics approach to develop this elusive context are rapidly becoming able to.

Like most growing enterprises, Rackspace accumulated over 20 point IT monitoring tools through company acquisitions and one-off use cases. This can lead to operational inefficiencies and excess licensing costs. As part of Rackspace's best practices, they assessed the use of these tools' capabilities and decided to get rid of the tool bloat. For over 15 years Zenoss has remained a central part of Rackspace's IT monitoring strategy due to our scaling capabilities and 400+ integrations.

Less is more. Maximize your monitoring ROI through monitoring tool consolidation. Maintaining process efficiencies as your company grows is a pervasive challenge. As growth occurs, so too does the number of point monitoring solutions in the IT tool stack, exacerbating the issue.

Give your team a break from the blame game. When IT issues occur, you don't want to spend precious time trying to figure out whose domain is the problem instead of actually RESOLVING the issue. A single, holistic view leads to much faster root-cause identification and reduced downtime from issues in your dynamic environment. The Parkview Health team is able to take these insights and automate a rapid resolution when issues occur.

In this video, we explain what topology is and why it’s critical for the success of AIOps projects. Simply adding machine learning to event correlation has proven an ineffective approach for root-causing IT issues in environments of any size or complexity. If you’re considering different approaches to AIOps, there are two questions you need to ask about topology. This brief video will arm you with those questions and will help make your AIOps project(s) successful.

AIOps, i.e., artificial intelligence for IT operations, has become the latest strategy du jour in the IT operations management space to help address and better manage the growing complexity and extreme scale of modern IT environments. AIOps enables some unique and new capabilities on this front, though it is quite a bit more complicated than the panacea that it is made out to be. However, the underlying AI and machine learning (ML) concepts do help complement, supplement and, in particular cases, even supplant more traditional approaches to handling typical IT Ops scenarios at scale.

The ability to analyze data across customers in order to inform their offerings is emerging as a potentially significant differentiator between monitoring vendors that have SaaS deployment offerings and those that don't. While some vendors pursue this opportunity, others are waiting on the sidelines, uncertain about privacy implications.

The IT industry has invested billions over the span of several decades in improving infrastructure resiliency. Has it worked? A new study by the Uptime Institute, an independent division of 451 Research, indicates that significant IT downtime incidents have been trending in the wrong direction, with a 24% increase since the previous study in 2017.
